Like I said, it hasn't been worth the paper it takes to reprint a copy for a very long time now. It's a useful tool at times & that's about it. Undo decades of mistakes in its interpretation & application then maybe it's something else, but I don't see a lot of reason to hope that's going to happen so I just have to deal with the practical reality that's left.

Who the hell cares if it's right or fair, as long as those crazy liberals don't get a vote.

There's nothing "right" about allowing people who clearly lack the good sense to govern themselves or anyone else to be involved in the decision making process. That falls somewhere between suicide & plain ol' stupid.
